Translation is a comprehensive resource book which provides students and researchers with support for advanced study of the subject. The authors examine the theory and practice of translation from a variety of linguistic and cultural angles. Drawing on a wide range of languages, including French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian and Arabic, they explore material from a variety of sources, such as the Internet, advertisements, religious texts, literary and technical texts. As with all books in the Routledge Applied Linguistics series, Translation is clearly structured in three main sections. Translation includes readings by Catford, Fawcett, Ernst-August Gutt, James S. Holmes, Eugene Nida, Werner Koller, Levy, Reiss, George Steiner, Vinay and Darbelnet.

La Boheme in all its glory. Full libretto with history of the story and music excerpts...original Italian text beside English translation. Easy to follow, great translation. For anyone who loves this opera this is a must have, or at the very least, a must-read. This is a fantastic piece of literature and a landmark theatre piece. This book captures the spendor of the opera well.
Gender in Translation is the first full-length study of the feminist issues surrounding translation studies. In this unprecedented and thought-provoking work, Sherry Simon argues that feminist theory challenges the traditional view of authority in translation, allowing translators to be literary activists and to create new lines of transmission.
